The Labor Court of Finland dismissed the appeal filed by the Construction Union against the employer's termination of an employee. The employer argued that the employee's serious misconduct justified immediate dismissal under the Employment Contracts Act, while the union contended the procedure violated statutory protections. The court upheld the termination, ruling that the employer had fulfilled its legal obligations to investigate and that the misconduct warranted dismissal without prior warning.
